[10e] Leutogi’s second husband was a man from this country, which was tied with Tonga and Samoa through trade and elite marriage. The British brought thousands of Indians to this country to work on sugar plantations on Viti Levu.
ANSWER: Fiji [or Republic of Fiji, Matanitu Tugalala o Viti, or Fijī Gaṇarājya]
